Assuming it's involuntary either way, cows.

Vegan leather. Not made out of vegans. Actually made out of polyurethane: oil: check, microplastics: check, disposable with a short usable life: check!

Leather also emits microplastic, it's just not a monomer we call "plastic" but its going in your balls too!

I think dead people don't need their skins. Maybe expand to prisoners, and maybe allow poor people sell their skins for example to fund their children's education etc.

During war times would be very good for the markets to allow skinning deceased soldiers or civilians, this would promote use of some chemical weapons that cause the enemy to asphyxiate or whatever in favour of terrible weapons that rip humans apart.
We could help to solve the issue with overpopulation in developing nations

Human leather bound books!
